It’s September again.Again, I see the different facial expressions of the parents taking their children to college.It’s mostly the male parents who perform this duty.Sometimes both parents come.The highly personalized faces which usually differ from each other in a thousandand one ways fade at this moment into each other,and display the same look: fatigue, exhaustion, the timidness and cautiousness of a new comer, and the concernedness and fear that their offspring might be treated unfairly. Such long and exhausting journeys over here! So many complicated and time-consuming procedures! They corrode people’s élan. The gleefulness and dizziness usually found in “eighteen-year-old youngsters who’ve made it” disappear altogether. Close on the heels of their parents, they shuffle from place to place in the campus. To go through one formality, they have to walk long distances and ask many questions of many people, and their parents have to smile politely all the time. Everywhere they have to line up and to pay. The sun being blazing, they find themselves perspiring all over. They have to sit by the roadside for a rest and satisfy their thirst by drinking bottled water whose prices soar because of scarcity. No matter how dignified and classy one may look on other days, one has to, for the sake of one’s children, humble oneself, put up with inconveniences, and show one’s best smiles to find out what to do. I saw a father carrying a huge bed-roll. Bent with the heavy burden on his shoulder, he had to strain for a look ahead in order to see the way forward. His son, head hanging low, followed behind with only a small bag. It won’t be long before his boy will help the girls with their bags. I also saw a father and son coming near hand in hand from the fork of a road. A mere glance told me that they are from one of the poor rural areas. Both wore cheap T-shirts and had crew-cuts. Even smaller in build, the old man has graying hair and a tan. An arrogant taxi sped towards them and was on the point of knocking down the oldster.The poor man quickly jumped aside. It was a near escape. Then, only then, was he separated from his son. When the car shot past, they joined hands again, continued on their way, each being the other’s support. The sight nearly brought tears to my eyes

又是九月了。我再次看到带着孩子上大学的父母不同的面部表情。履行这一职责的主要是男性家长。有时父母都会来。高度个性化的面孔通常在千差万别,在这一刻会逐渐消失,并显示出同样的表情:疲劳、疲惫、新来者的胆怯和谨慎,以及担心自己的后代可能会受到不公平的对待。在这里如此漫长而疲惫的旅程!这么多复杂耗时的程序!它们腐蚀人的皮肤。快乐和眩晕通常出现在“成功的18岁年轻人”身上,完全消失了。紧跟着父母,他们在校园里从一个地方拖到另一个地方。要办理一个手续,他们必须走很远的路,问很多人很多问题,他们的父母必须一直礼貌地微笑。他们所到之处
